Audience Reviews for A Man Called Sledge

½

Luther Sledge and gang have just robbed a stagecoach in the old west. But that victory does not come without a cost, as the coach driver is accidentally killed and Sledge's partner soon after dies in a card game. None of which stops Sledge from meeting up with Ward(Dennis Weaver) and Hooker(Claude Akins) to discuss an ambitious new plan to rob a gold shipment. At the same time, there is an old man(John Marley) following them who might have some inside knowledge.

"A Man Called Sledge" might not be what would one would normally expect from a typical James Garner vehicle, as this is a Spaghetti western where he plays a much more ruthless character than the charming rogues he was usually known for.(That does partially explain why the forced romantic subplot never quite gels.) That having been said, there is still plenty to admire in this entertaining and violent genre smash-up where death is a constant companion for the characters in a movie made during the sunset of the western. On the other hand, it does take the outlaws a long time to find the obvious, if very daft, solution.

Pretty good western with a good cast of actors. Makes me wanna see more movies with James Garner, Dennis Weaver and Claude Akins.

Even with all the action & shootouts, I just could not get into this movie.While watching it I fell asleep a couple times & kept having to rewind it back to the parts I dozed off at.After awhile I just gave up & shut it off.During the movie I was just looking forward to it ending so I could watch something else.It's not a good Western but it's not bad either
